He articulates what he's going to do very well. I'm not convinced that Jeff wasn't doing a lot of the same stuff (he had a reputation as a game tape buff from Phoenix) but he certainly wasn't clearly communicating what he was doing with his public comments. I have to think that the communication lapses spilled over to his private dealings with the team as well, causing confusion on what goals were. A lot of players spoke of that. Hard to hold people accountable to unclear goals.
Off the bat, that's something I can easily say for Fiz.
Jeff wasn’t in the gym with young guys everyday this early in the off season. I’m pretty sure there is a quote where be basically said offseason development is on the players. I think you can even see from the comments of the players that Fitz I doing something very different. Remains to be seen if that difference will be shown on the court.
I know its very popular to rag on Jeff these days and its easy as he did a poor job
but remember how different things were for him
he was brought in to run the triangle for Jackson with a team of Rose, Melo, Noah, etc
he wasn't brought in to be a developmental coach
yes he had KP and Kuz and Chassen Randal but come on, its not like Fiz
he was first a triangle man winning now then he was a tank commander and then it was right back again
he was expected last year to lose and then they were winning and then kp went down and they were expected to tank
it wasn't a very fair situation for him
and he has a hot daughter
jeff got a raw deal. he wasn't the right man for the job last year clearly, but the situation was bad. that's on phil.
and... she get it from her mama, as wingo might say.
